I am a big fan of traditions, and one of my favourite is the annual first-and-last day of school photo. Did Tristan even get a haircut during this school year? I’m honestly not sure!

I’ve been making them for a while now!

Photo of the (other) day: First day of school! Oops! I accidentally saved this as draft and then wondered why it didn’t post! Here’s my wee babies, all grown up on the first day of Grade 2, Grade 6 and Grade 8. Handsome devils, eh? They get that from their father. 🙂 So far, the year is off to...
